We had a PAWsome day yesterday! With the help of our colleagues from the dog unit along with our West End Officers we did a search around the area and were able to remove drugs off the street, deter crime and more importantly engaged with the community. #metpolicedog #dogop

It is the 26th anniversary of the nail bomb attack on the Admiral Duncan. Thanks to our colleagues at the @metpoliceuk who laid a wreath this morning. People will gather from 5 pm at the Admiral Duncan, with the Act of Remembrance in St Anne's Gardens at 6.20 pm.

Today is the 26th anniversary of the nail bomb attack on the Admiral Duncan pub killing 3 people and injuring many more. Officers from the BCU laid a wreath this morning and paid their respects. Our thoughts are with the victims families and loved ones.

We have prepared for a number of events taking place around central London today, including a demonstration outside Downing Street, so make sure you check your route before you travel. We will try to keep disruption to a minimum and provide any updates in the thread below 🧵

The crime prevention stall that happened yesterday was a success! A huge thank you to our partners @NightStars_NST @SBN_BCRP for joining us and thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat.

Festive crime prevention stall in #soho! See you there!

Our crime prevention banners are now live at #sohosquare! As it is ASB awareness week, our SNT team and TCT team have put up 2 banners at Soho Square to remind people to #lookuplookout and #staysafe

@thesohogirl @BigIssue @mysohotimes @badthink @CarnabyLondon Ah we regularly come across him, always in high spirits and a smile. It's so good to see him being recognised for his work! :) Well done @BigIssue

@BigIssue @mysohotimes Such a pleasure to meet with @badthink this morning in @CarnabyLondon! Interesting to observe André with passers by… all my respect to @BigIssue vendors for your tenacity! Read André’s article in the autumn issue of @mysohotimes + online: mysohotimes.co.uk/2024/10/22/the… #soho

Our very own André Rostant has written for @mysohotimes. Insightful as always: 💬Selling The Big Issue is different... you present people with homelessness that is not helpless – they can take it or leave it, but can’t ignore it.

There will be an increased police presence in Westminster tomorrow for a march organised in the name of Tommy Robinson, a counter protest organised by Stand Up To Racism and other events. Read further details, including conditions in place, below. 🔽 news.met.police.uk/news/met-sets-…

West End Policing Team were in #SOHO today due to repeat complaints around individuals in the ASB hotspots. A male that has generated complaints was spoken to and issued with a Community Protection Warning. Another person was arrested, wanted for a Breach of Court Order.

If you report online, the same team will deal with your report in the same way. It's quick, convenient and means you won't wait in a queue.

Can you help? Detectives offer £20,000 reward in relation to 2004 murder of Camille Gordon in Soho news.met.police.uk/news/detective…

Remember #Soho @mpssoho will be in #SacredGrounds, 54 Dean Street, so if you have any problems, want any advice, go and see them, 1.00 - 2.30 today, 15 October.

@jpdsoho @GreenBadgeE1 @CityPoliceCops @MPSCamden @MPSRTPC @CityWestminster @TfL As you likely remember from partnership meetings with @SBN_BCRP, some have also been issued CPWs and CPNs due to ongoing behaviour. It is not just the Control of Pollution Act.

@jpdsoho @GreenBadgeE1 @CityPoliceCops @MPSCamden @MPSRTPC @CityWestminster @TfL Jane, the enforcement to this is the same as any vehicle contravening the Road Traffic Act, when witnessed by a constable in uniform. Regulation would be the best outcome, given other more concerning issues relating to business practice.

#CycleTeam seized this E-bike Pedicab on the Embankment. After it was seen travelling at speed down a cycle lane, endangering others. The vehicle had been illegally modified making it a motor-tricycle. The officers were also concerned the modification posed a fire risk. 185CP

@GreenBadgeE1 @CityPoliceCops @MPSCamden @MPSRTPC We have been, with @CityWestminster throughout the year. Not every vehicle is modified or adapted making it a criminal offence, so we worked in partnership. There is an upcoming change that will see pedicabs being licensed by TFL. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@CityPoliceCops Well done ! What about the several hundred others. I suppose the Strand and Aldwych isn't in your area @MPSCamden @MPSSoho @MPSRTPC Need to act

@jpdsoho @DanielNHS1 @thesohogirl Evening Jane, after speaking to Daniel it's been identified that it relates to a different ward. It's not Soho, so we have reached out to local officers and will assist where we can.

@MPSSoho @DanielNHS1 @thesohogirl The complaints have been posted constantly and we have told local ward officers where and when dealing takes place. It seems dealing and using class A drugs is not a priority any longer.

Thank you @thesohogirl for giving us the space to share some information about crime prevention, the new teams, some of our ongoing work and the need for community partnership. #Soho
